Restore strong, consistent high-pressure oil delivery, reliable cold and hot starting, and dependable injector operation on your 1996-1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke with this Bosch remanufactured High-Pressure Oil Pump. On the 7.3L Power Stroke, the high-pressure oil pump supplies the oil pressure required to actuate the HEUI fuel injectors. When the HPOP becomes weak or begins to fail, it can directly affect starting, idle quality, throttle response, power, and overall injector performance. This direct-replacement HPOP is commonly serviced when the original pump is worn, leaking, or unable to build or hold adequate injection control pressure (ICP). Replacing a failed or weak pump can help correct symptoms such as hard starting, extended crank time, no-start conditions, low ICP, rough idle, surging, reduced power, and stalling when the HPOP is verified as the cause. Key Features & Specs: Remanufactured Quality: Remanufactured to support OE-style fit, function, and durability for dependable high-pressure oil delivery. Direct Replacement: Designed specifically for 1996-1997 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke applications.
